45 “And all these maledictions+ will certainly come upon you and pursue you and overtake you until you have been annihilated,+ because you did not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God by keeping his commandments and his statutes that he commanded you.+

24 Finally he turned behind him and saw them and called down evil+ upon them in the name of Jehovah. Then two she-bears+ came out from the woods and went tearing to pieces forty-two children of their number.+

24 “‘Now when someone righteous turns back from his righteousness and actually does injustice;+ according to all the detestable things that the wicked one has done he keeps doing+ and he is living, none of all his righteous acts that he has done will be remembered.+ For his unfaithfulness that he has committed and for his sin with which he has sinned, for them he will die.+

9 “And I also, for my part, shall certainly make YOU to be despised and low to all the people,+ according as YOU were not keeping my ways, but were showing partiality in the law.”+
